Naam Tag
by ayh_hora
Naam Tag replaces the default player and mob nametags on the client with overhead stats, including health, armor durability and totem counts.
What it does
Naam Tag is a lightweight, client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11. Overhead displays show health as vanilla heart sprites, numbers, or both, along with equipped armor pieces colored by durability percentage and a real-time totem count. Nicknames can be animated with a TrueColor gradient, and rank or prefix badges can be assigned to each player. Only the client needs the mod; a server running without it is unaffected.
The same overhead display can also cover hostile mobs, passive animals, bosses such as the Wither, Warden, Ender Dragon and Elder Guardian. Filtering works through category toggles for hostile, passive and boss mobs, plus a custom entity whitelist and blacklist. Third-person view can show the player's own nametag, and a ping and latency readout sits in the HUD. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Overhead health display
Health appears above players and mobs as hearts, numbers or both, with absorption and extra heart rows shown.
Armor durability
Equipped armor pieces are listed with color-coded durability percentages, and damaged pieces can be shown alone.
Totem counter and ping
The number of totems in the player's inventory is tracked in real time, next to a latency display.
Custom nicknames and badges
Each player can be given a custom nickname, a rank or a prefix badge, with animated gradient colors.
